She said: 'I went from being an aunt, having a mom, and being a child to not having a mom, becoming a mom, and raising my own child. I tell David all the time. You saved my life.'

Hudson's mother Darnell Donnerson and brother Jason were found shot dead in their Chicago home in October 2008, and the body of her seven-year-old nephew Julian was found just days later.

Her sister Julia's estranged husband William Balfour was later sentenced to three life sentences for the crimes.

'It's frustrating as hell to me to have somebody who ain't lost nothing try to talk to me about it,' said Hudson, 'I want to say, "Don't even bother, because you know nothing." But you never know how much you can get through until you're going through it.'
